Architects engage with architectural critics who offer interpretations of what is at stake in contemporary architectural practice. Fiction writers also engage in dialogue with critics. Winner of the 2016 Hennessy Prize for Literary Journalism, Elisabeth Philippe is a literary critic on Le Masque et la Plume, the legendary radio programme created in 1955. She is also deputy head of the culture section at Le Nouvel Obs. She is familiar with the work of the writers who have visited Ensa Paris-Est in recent weeks to talk to us about the power of fiction. For this closing session of the “Fictions: Other Worlds” series, she will help us draw conclusions from these encounters by sharing her observations on the role of fiction in the world of books. So that the architects return from this literary detour with ideas to inform the project.

Series
Organised by architects and lecturers Gwenaëlle d'Aboville and David Enon, the Tuesday Lectures series Fictions: Other Worlds invites us to listen to writers who construct fictions, much like architects do when designing projects.
